I started freaking out because I'm calling Carl for a hundredth time but the number is still cannot be reach. Carl is seriously driving me crazy.

"Kiela, calm down." Kristy said

"No! He's been gone for a week now and I might be the reason why he left."

"Kiela, he is also the reason why you tried to cut yourse----"

"I told you, I'm not gonna cut myself! When you saw me ---- "

Kristy interrupted.

"Crying and really broke and holding a blade near your wrist. Yeah, you're not trying to kill yourself." She said.

SILENCE....

"Sorry, but look, I don't have cuts." I said as I show her my wrist.

"Yeah, because I stopped you." She said.

"Yeah, because you love me." I said with teasing tone.

"And?"

"I love you too." I said and hug my best friend Kristy. She just rolled her eyes.

Kristy has been my best friend since we moved here about two years ago. She lives next door.

Kristy is a gorgeous woman. She has pretty brown eyes and she has really nice body.

I parked the car near the abandoned building Grayson-the-gangster owns after realizing that I might not be the only reason why Carl left without anyone knowing where he's up to. And maybe Grayson can also be the reason.

I entered the building and really wanna regret it but I need an answer. I walk passed a lot of gangsters and face Grayson.

"Look who's here?" Grayson let's out an evelish laugh.

"Where's Carl?" I asked, my voice shaking.

"Isn't ex-girlfriends not supposed to care where their ex are? Especially when they are the one's who leave them?" He said.

and I was like BULLSEYE. But.....

"It is still my responsibility because he left a week after we broke up. And even his family doesn't know where he is and you might know because you sure can----"

A gangster interrupt.

He said."So... you expect that he leaves because he's heartbroken?"Everyone laughs in chorus.

"From what I've remembered, Carl and I have had a bet. To find a girl to dump. So, that girl is you? Not bad." They all laugh again.

Tears filled my eyes. I can't believe that that was all a lie. An act. It was all for a bet?

I know we broke up already...but it is my pride that is hurt. How could someone play on other's feeling?

I turned around and run towards the door but they stopped me. Three men steps in front of me.

"You really think that you can get out of here?" I heard Grayson shout from behind.

Fear crept into my mind immediately.

No! They won't kill me. Rape me? I won't let that happen. I can't die right now.

I push the man and started running out of the building when a car stops in front of me.

"Hop in." Anton offered.

I didn't think twice and just accept his help. He immediately stepped on the gas.Now, I will surely regret this because I left my mother's car. I must think of an excuse.

🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽

After an hour, Anton stopped the car in a club. That's all he's got? A club? Seriously? Couldn't it get any better?

"We're here. This is where I go whenever I'm in trouble and when I'm frustrated. I have no idea as to what kind of place should I bring you so....I brought you here but if you don't want h-----" I gave him a hug.

"Thanks. You don't really need to do this. We don't even know each other...well, except our names." I'm startled when he started laughing. I love the sound of his laugh but...

I pulled away. "Why are you laughing?" I asked, still clueless.

"Actually, you don't know my name---" he said.

"Ofcourse I know! It's Anton!" I shout confidently but he laughed again. His laugh sounds music to my ear now.I'm getting used to it.

"I'm not Anton, I'm Ashton." I'm pretty sure that I am blushing right now. I thought he said he's Anton.

This is so embarrassing.

"Hey, it's okay. If you like, you can call me Anton or whatever you want." He said as he draw circles in my knees.

"No, your name is beautiful,so I'm calling you by your name, Ashton right?" Then he nods.

" I guess, club isn't the best place to get to know each other. Maybe we can go somewhere else?" He asked.

"Sure." I agreed.

He started the engine and stepped on the gas. But before we finally gets out of the parking lot of the club, the smile on my face disappeared because I realized that it is Carl that I saw and I'm sure of it. I can feel my blood boiling right now.

"Ashton stop the car." He didnt ask any more question as he look at where I am looking. Carl is flirting with a woman. A slut. A bitch. Their eyes were full of lusts.

I know I shouldn't be reacting this way especially when we're already over but it still hurts. A lot. After the broke up, he ruined my name in school, embarrass me by saying 'I'm sleeping with a bunch of guys including his enemies', and 'I was such a bitch, a slut' and then I found out that our relationship was just a joke. What do you think would I do? Accept it? I won't let it slide.

I walk fast to hurt both of them. Carl is now kissing the girl and sure cannot get enough but sorry to intrude, I just want to give myself a gift.

I pull Carl away from the girl, both of them held an irritated and shocked face. Carl looked at me but even before he can talk I gave his ball a kick. I scrunch as I saw him in pain and I didn't notice that the girl is now approaching me. She's looking at me with anger. She plans to pull my hair but I also plan to punch her. And guess who won? Of course it's me. And I think I just broke her nose. Serves her right.

I shipped around to look for Ashton and I immediately saw him. His eyes are shock and his lips formed a smirk.

"Let's go?" I asked and without looking back I head towards Ashton's car, not waiting for his answer.

In the car, Ashton asked,"What was that? I never thought that a good girl like you can also be a bad ass." He said and then let's out a laugh. But who says that I'm a good girl? I really am not. Even when I was just a child, I can make someone cry just by my words.

I just gave him an innocent look and said, "That's not a revenge, that's a gift for myself."
